Pure Gaiman. This tale is reminiscent of Coraline, but with more description and less moral dilemma. An unnamed seven year old comes face to face with ancient battles of good versus evil. Led by the Hempstock women, a family at the end of his lane who appear to be have been around since the moon was made, the boy faces fears with the best of bravery and forthrightness. I read this book in a few hours--beautifully written and a page turner! I was sad when I came to the last page.
